British boxing star Chris Eubank Jr has shared the joyous news that he has become a father to twin boys, revealing the milestone in a touching social media post.
The former IBO super-middleweight champion and son of British boxing legend Chris Eubank Snr took to Instagram on Tuesday to introduce the world to his two new arrivals.
In the heartfelt post, Eubank Jr, 36, shared an adorable snap of himself cradling the newborns, describing the moment as the most important achievement of his life.
‘I’ve done a lot of great things in my life… this is the greatest,’ he wrote on Instagram, giving fans a rare glimpse of his softer, more personal side.
Eubank Jr and his private partner have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, but the boxer’s fans were quick to send their congratulations the pair.
The arrival of the twins marks a new chapter for Eubank Jr, who has long been in the public eye for his boxing exploits and outspoken personality.

However, Eubank Jr’s relationship with his own father has long been fraught with tension
Eubank Jr’s cousin Harlem commented on the post saying: ‘Fatherhood’ with two clapping hands emojis, while former foe Nick Blackwell wrote: ‘Congratulations, Chris.’
Eubank Jr’s journey into fatherhood began in the wake of tragedy. In July 2021, his brother Sebastian passed away suddenly in Dubai, leaving behind his newborn son, Raheem.
At just a month old Raheem lost his father, but Eubank Jr stepped in without question taking on the responsibility of raising his nephew and providing the care and guidance a father would.
However, Eubank Jr’s relationship with his own father has long been fraught with tension.
The boxing legend and his son were estranged for four years leading up to the first clash between Eubank Jr and Conor Benn in April 2025, which was delayed by three years after the 29-year-old boxer failed a drug test.
The tension began in 2019, when Eubank Jr sent his father a letter to explain that he would be reducing his role as his trainer and continued to fester in the build-up to April’s fight.
Eubank Snr publicly condemned the bout, branding it ‘attempted murder’ due to the brutal weight cut required, and also accused his son of being a ‘disgrace’ after he infamously slapped Benn with an egg.
However, in a shocking and dramatic turn of events, Eubank Sr appeared at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in support of his son as he went to battle with Benn for the first time.

Daily Mail Sport visited Eubank Jr in camp ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with Benn to see where that relationship stood and how both men had attempted to rebuild the father-son bond.
‘It’s not been easy. It’s not an overnight thing,’ Eubank Jr said at the time. ‘People might think, well, he came to the fight and now they’re all lovey again. No, it’s not that.
‘We are still working to try and get back to how things were many, many years ago when we didn’t have these issues. But I’m confident that we’ll get there eventually. He will be at my next fight though, supporting me, and that’s very important to me.’
Shortly after Eubank Jr’s sit-down with Daily Mail Sport, he took to social media to announce he was expecting twins with his partner.
Sharing a clip from the family’s reality television show The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son on BBC, in which he told his famous father the exciting news, Eubank Jr, 36, posted on X: ‘So yes many of you guessed it. I will soon be joining the dad gang.
‘Only difference is I’ll be joining as a father of two! Twin boys!! I’m so grateful for such a blessing & I will do my absolute best to give them the happiest upbringing I possibly can… just like my old man did for me.’
In the BBC video clip, Eubank Jr told his father: ‘I want to start that next chapter in my life. You’ve got two grandsons that are on the way.’
